I sometimes feel like I live in a different reality from other people most of the time.
I am a fan of anime/manga, comics, science fiction novels, video games, and music like KMFDM and Melvins but people I generally encounter in my day to day living don’t care for the things I am interested in. They tend to prefer sports, only listen to mainstream music (Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of mainstream music as well but I also like to seek out music that isn’t as well known or had generational popularity), either don’t read or only read books by popular authors like James Patterson, and either don’t care for video games, only play GTA or Call of Duty, or are nostalgic gamers who only want to play Goldeneye 64.
I occasionally see people who break the mold such as people wearing anime t-shirts or ones for a band like the two I mentioned above but this generally happens when I am working at the job I have (public library) or passing by out in public. I wonder where they come from and if they hang out anywhere, especially since the hang outs in my area are not very “geek” or “nerd” friendly.
